Was at Kaffebrenneriet in Universitetsgata for The Big Coffee Day today. The knowledgable and humble Synøve Nesøen roasted while juggling customers and questions. Impressive! This Coffee Day is a great way to spread the “gospel” of specialty coffee to the masses. Kudos to Kaffebrenneriet!

Some more handyman work. Better weather this time…

Going through some old green bean samples that we’ve recieved I found this bag. The little black dots are living bugs!!

Fortunately the zipper is intact!

The sample is 4-5 months old…

So I quickly put together this short video on coffee in producing countries. Hopefully it’ll give a quick impression on what goes on “down there”. Sorry for the quality, it’s shot on a consumer DV cam. I’m looking to buy a stills camera with a good lens and high quality HD video capabilities. Any suggestions?

Handyman me! Yet another weekend spent restoring the little house in the forest to it’s old glory.

Right now I’m drinking a cup of a sample roast I did on Friday of Los Planes natural. A wonderfully clean Pacamara from El Salvador. Fruity!!

Dude, I’m super impressed with how far your knowledge of coffee has come, and what you’ve accomplished.  Also, I shudder at the thought of telling you what I’m drinking right now.  I’ll just say it’s cold and wasn’t made anytime recently, and I’m disguising the sub-par taste with vanilla-flavored creamer.

Thanks Mark. It’s very nice of you to say that. I’ve come a long way for sure. I must say that I’m equally impressed with how tenacious you’ve been with your filmmaking! As for the beverage you’re drinking; I’d rather not know ;)
